Zomlefer WB, Giannasi DE, Judd WS. 2007. A floristic survey of National Park Service areas of Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve including Fort Caroline National Memorial Duval County Florida. Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. 1(2):1157-1178
The portion of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve (including Fort Caroline National Memorial) administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, comprises 3,723 ha (9,200 acres) in a series of disjointed land parcels in eastern Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. A floristic survey was conducted to provide Park Service personnel with a vouchered checklist of vascular plant species, supplemented with salient information such as relative abundance, locality data, and community type. Three intensive collecting trips conducted in 2005 yielded 480 taxa (474 species plus 6 varieties) of vascular plants in 318 genera of 122 families. The five largest families are Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Fabaceae, and Ericaceae. A map, descriptions, and photographs of the various plant communities are also provided.
